Chapter 13 - A Pitfall Called Just Kidding

“Make friends?”

Ye Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although he didn’t know what the other party was scheming, he knew this “Brother Li” definitely didn’t have good intentions!

Especially with that faint lecherous glint in the man’s eyes, it was subtle, but Ye Xuan saw it clearly.

“Am I seeing things?

Isn’t this guy the mysterious owner of the Rose Bar, Li Hai?”

“What!

He is Li Hai!

I heard he’s not only the owner of the Rose Bar but also runs a security company!”

“Did you see, those are all his henchmen.

It’s said that each of them has taken several lives!”

At the moment, the people around them let out exclamations of shock upon getting a clear look at the seated “Brother Li.”

“Oh?

I wonder how you want to make friends?”

Ye Xuan, puffing on his cigarette, looked at Li Hai with a playful glint in his eyes.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Li Hai gave a faint smile.

Today, he had been invited by Floral Shirt to dine in the upstairs private room of the bar.

Later, Floral Shirt came running in saying there was trouble in the bar and exaggerated how arrogant the other party was, not only breaking his hand but also dismissing Li Hai as if he was nothing.

Li Hai had intended to teach Ye Xuan a lesson, but upon seeing Lin Tong, he changed his mind.

He was already tired of playing with little celebrities and models, and Lin Tong in front of him definitely met his standards; a business elite gave him a thrill of freshness.

If he could possess such a top-quality beauty, Floral Shirt’s issues were nothing to him.

“You’ll follow me from now on, be my underling!

I’ll wipe the slate clean regarding your quarrel with Floral Shirt, and I’ll cover all your expenses from now on!”

Li Hai tapped his fingers on the arm of his chair, assuming a posture as though he was in control of everything, believing he had Ye Xuan pegged.

“Really?”

Ye Xuan inwardly sneered, but his face showed a pleasantly surprised expression as he asked, “As long as I follow you, you really won’t give me any trouble and will give me money to spend?”

Satisfied with Ye Xuan’s reply, an arrogant smile appeared on Li Hai’s face, “Of course!

But you have to agree to one condition!”

“I wonder what Brother Li would instruct?

I’ll definitely follow through!” said Ye Xuan.

Li Hai glanced at Lin Tong, standing behind Ye Xuan, his gaze filled with greed.

He took out thirty thousand in cash from his pocket and handed it to Ye Xuan, saying, “This is a down payment.

Sell me the woman by your side, and this money is yours!

I will give you another fifty thousand afterward!”

True to his expectations, upon seeing the money, a look of temptation flashed across Ye Xuan’s face, which brought joy to Li Hai’s heart.

He saw Ye Xuan as just a bumpkin from the countryside, who could be sent away with a bit of cash, which gave him an even greater sense of satisfaction.

Moreover, the price for hiring a third-rate celebrity for one night was over a hundred thousand!

As if to reassure Ye Xuan, Li Hai continued, “As long as you follow me and work wholeheartedly for me, you’ll definitely not lack benefits!

With Brother Li covering you, no one in Dongyang City will dare to touch you!”

“So, Brother Li has taken a liking to this woman beside me?

All right, all right!”

Upon hearing Li Hai’s words, Ye Xuan unhesitatingly clutched the thirty thousand in his hand, showing a look of intense joy.

Many looked at Ye Xuan with contempt; for money, he was selling his own woman, hardly a man at all!

Some women looked at Lin Tong with sympathy, and those who envied Lin Tong’s beauty watched the drama unfold with schadenfreude.

Standing behind Ye Xuan, Lin Tong’s face was pale, her delicate body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment as she looked at Ye Xuan.

She had no idea he was this kind of man!

“But if I’m to follow you, I’m just worried about the high costs, Brother Li, you probably can’t afford it!” Ye Xuan’s tone shifted.

Li Hai frowned, somewhat displeased, “Kid, you’re looking down on me, Brother Li, too much.

I have many underlings, and their monthly expenses are hundreds of thousands!

Can you spend more than them?”

“Hmph!

Name your conditions!”

Playing with the thirty thousand in his hand, a smirk appeared on Ye Xuan’s face, “Since Brother Li is so sincere, then I’ll be blunt.

I want the King of Arabia’s gold sports car!

Four beauties from the List of Stunning Beauties!

A Centurion Black Gold Card from Rhein Country Bank!

A one-year residence permit for the Forbidden City’s Royal Garden… hmm, that’s all I can think of for now, Brother Li, hey, Brother Li, what’s wrong with you?

Are you maybe too excited to hear all this?”

Excited?

Excited my ass!

Li Hai was on the verge of tears.

The Arab king’s golden sports car?

Damn!

There’s only one of those in the entire world!

It’s worth 2 billion Yan Country Coins!

Rumor has it that it loses about 50 grams of gold for every 100 kilometers it travels!

A beauty from the City Beauties List?

Aren’t they all ravishing stunners?

You can’t even find one from Dongyang City to make the list, let alone four?

What, are they playing mahjong?

A Black Gold Card from the Rhein Country Bank Centurions?

Only the top 20 super-rich on the global billionaire list can possess one, it absolutely symbolizes peak power and status!

The last one made Brother Li spit blood!

A residence permit for the Forbidden City?

You can’t buy that with money; it’s a national cultural relic!

At this moment, Li Hai realized he was the real country bumpkin!

Seeing the mocking smile on Ye Xuan’s face, Li Hai finally realized he’d been played.

“Kid, you’re fuckin’ asking for it!”

Li Hai stood up from his chair and roared furiously at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan took a leisurely puff of his cigarette and looked at Li Hai with a playful gaze, “Wasn’t it you, Brother Li, who told me to name my price?

My condition is called…

just kidding with you!”

Just kidding?

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the room went silent.

“He…

he’s actually toying with Li Hai?”

Everyone’s gaze at Ye Xuan was filled with pity, thinking he was courting death!

Li Hai’s forehead throbbed with popping veins, and his face turned extremely grim.

He had now realized that this kid had been toying with him from the very start.

Ye Xuan ignored everyone else, waved the stacks of cash in his hand, turned back to Lin Tong and said with a grin, “Wifey, don’t you think this guy is an idiot?

Look at this money, so easy to make!”

“Kid, you’re courting death!!!”

Li Hai’s face twisted with rage as he bellowed to his subordinates, “Get him, I’m going to cripple that bastard!

Dump him in the river to feed the fish tonight!”

A dozen or so young thugs immediately pounced on Ye Xuan.

With the advantage of numbers, they exuded a killing aura!

The man in the floral shirt gloated at Ye Xuan’s predicament.

This guy had completely infuriated Li Hai; he wouldn’t walk away this evening without losing some skin.

However, what followed left everyone dumbstruck!

Ye Xuan let out a cold laugh.

Before those dozen men could even reach him, his figure darted in front of them like a specter, his hands moving swiftly like the wind.

Smack smack smack smack smack!

A succession of slaps rang out.

“Ah!

Don’t hit me!”

“Big brother, I was wrong!”

“My teeth!

My teeth are gone!”

Everyone who came near him was flipped to the ground, each thug’s face bearing a bright red handprint, blood spilling from their mouths, teeth flying across the room!

Silence!

For a moment, the entire bar fell deadly quiet!

Everyone’s brain seemed to short-circuit, unable to process what had just happened.

Too fast!

In less than a minute, more than a dozen men were beaten down to their knees.

Was he Yip Man?

Is this damn thing a movie?
